These delicious chocolate fudge cupcakes just might change the way you make cupcakes forever!!!
I made these Dark Chocolate Fudge Cupcakes for Valentines day last year, but then I made them again for a baby shower, and then AGAIN for a friend's birthday party. Which means they are pretty much perfect for any occasion, any time of year!
Not only do these cupcakes taste fantastic, they are super simple to make!
Cut out a small section in the center of the cupcakes and save them in a bowl. Add strawberry whipped cream to the hole, then replace the tops. (Just do the best you can - or eave them off!)
Pipe chocolate frosting on top of cupcake, top with sprinkles and you're good to go!

Conversation Hearts Valentines Day cookies are super simple to make and they taste delicious!!
Conversation hearts are a necessary part of the Valentine holiday, even though they taste like chalk! We buy them, give them, and decorate with them because they're cute. These Conversation Heart Sugar Cookies are not only cute, they taste good too! And if you don't have a steady hand, mad piping skills or a projector to provide a guide, never fear! I have a very simple solution for you today, so keep reading!
Once you have your cookies made, you just need a little stamp set and edible ink pens. I had this set of stamps in my scrapbook stash, but they actually had no evidence of ever being used, (along with lots of my dusty scrapbook supplies). I used my Americolor brand pens to ink the letters and stamped right onto my dry cookies. (Links to all these supplies are below!)
